Abstract

The mathematics of all time has had as the main source of inspiration the visualization, playing an important role in the development of concepts, notions and basic ideas of the differential and integral calculus. The present work provides tools and basic methods of use relatively simple, developed in the computational package Matlab, working topics such as the geometric definition of derivative, the definite integral and calculation of volumes of revolution using the disk method, which allows to obtain very powerful results in "animated" dynamic simulations that serve as support and facilitating didactic resource in the teaching-learning process of calculus. Modifying and renewing in the first instance the traditional way of teaching this subject in the first years of the basic university cycle in this institution and why not in the country, in addition, it is expected that this work, to banish the paradigm around the student community, that has related to the calculus with a pure and completely algebraic, static and rote idea.
